"Not great"
I have to admit that Riverdale is one of my least favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. I have essentially no reasons to visit the area.
Crime is higher here that the average for the city, and the neighborhood is fairly poor. I looked it up, and the average income of Riverdale residents is a third of that of the average Chicago resident. I also noticed some statistics on the education of the average resident, and it was a lot lower than the rest of Chicago. There is a far greater number of people in Riverdale without a high school education than the average for other Chicago neighborhoods.
I normally don't like to be so down on any neighborhood, but Riverdale is not a place to visit, and certainly not a place to live or raise a family if you have any opportunity elsewhere. I would just say avoid as best as you can.

This is not a neighborhood in Chicago, Riverdale is a city in Illinois. Are you getting your information from a report and just reposting?
